We all need friends who will be by our side when the going gets tough, however, there are 4 types of friends, and the choice you make or the kind of friend you are will have an impact on those around you.
In this world, there are 4 types of friends. Let us take a look at them as you identify the kind of friend you are and also match those you call your friends to one of the four types.
The 4 types of friends who will make or unmake your 2022
1: There are PASSENGER_FRIENDS, who get on board, when they want and get off once they reach their destination. Simply put, only when they need you or want something from you.
2: There are “RIDE_FRIENDS” who just need a ride but do not contribute to the friendship. RIDE FRIENDS will abandon you and seek another ride when you get stuck in the middle of the road with a flat tire in the rain. Simply put, they are OPPORTUNISTIC.
3: There are DECEPTIVE_FRIENDS, who like JUDAS ISCARIOT, prefer to be your friend for a set goal and a hidden agenda. They are sure and quick to betray you for the cheapest price. They betray your trust and set you up for trouble. Simply put, they are FAKE!!

4: There are TRUE_and_REAL_FRIENDS, who will ride with you and stay with you to the very last stop and beyond. Whether you have a flat tire, hit a pot-hole, broken windshield, disabled vehicle, rough ride, become rain-soaked with you, get a ticket, in thick and thin. They stay friends irrespective of circumstances, situations, and environment. These friends contribute VALUE to the relationship and become a brother or a sister to you. They are like Ruth was to Naomi, and Jonathan’s love for David as depicted in the Bible. Simply put, they are TRUE FRIENDS, like Ruth, Jonathan, and Jesus Christ.
